I could never get over
the fact that I was with someone
who had such bad taste
in music
unlike your crooked
nose or scratchy
voice
(they didn't bother me one bit)
but music, it says things about a person
Author notes
prompt:
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treason, strategems, and spoils

I knew a boy once who didn't like music at all - it was the oddest thing in the world to me

Yeah, it's hard listening to somebody else's lame ass music ... but I guess it's all relative though
